The man turned into a crystal, He turned into a crystal not only that but the same crystal that had been in his apartment.
Walking over he pickup up the crystal before say aloud
"A talking rock, I just finished talking....to a talking rock........"
Looking at Celobra he continued, "What sort of loopy land have I entered?!"

‘I’m tracking you now.’ Volana turned into his male form.

Quickly detecting his crystal’s signature he flew down and landed not far away. He folded his wings behind him and snuck up on Celobra.

“Boo!” He grabbed her shoulders with an impish grin. He had a little more joy than his female form.

“Ha you jumped half blood!” He laughed.

Celobra was not amused. Not amused at all. She hated being surprised.

Her multi-colored eyes would narrow as her golden-tail would twitch.
"Now how would you know I'm a half-blood if you weren't some sort of monster yourself?"
She would ask without even turning.

“No one said I’m human.” He let his eyes glow. One red the other a light light blue.

He smiled his pointed teeth showing. “I don’t know how you half bloods survive. Don’t you go crazy from your demon side?” He really truly was confused at that.

Alex let the glow die and his teeth become flat again. He backed up. “Hey. Nice fightin. For a halfblood.”

"That's because my other half isn't human."
She said with a low growl. She hated the half-blood prejudice among the monster races.

Quintus was growing, very, annoyed with this whole situation, what's next, tap dancing elephants?
Marching over he growled out, "That's enough, I don't know who you are and I don't care, considering the amount of ghouls we just fought off you both need to pipe down."
Looking at the crystal in his hand and then the blocked doorway he continued.
"I have 3 priorities right now. first finding out what is going on in this city, 2nd, reach Unit 14 inside that building, and 3rd figuring out just what the hell this crystal is. So unless you have any answers to those 3 priorities I suggest you save your words for when we're off the street."

“Then what’s your other half? Angel? That’d be a first.”

Upon seeing the crystal Alex growled. “Hey that’s mine! Give it.” He put his hand out demanding it back.

The crystal glowed as it spoke to him. ‘This guys stinks. Too bad I can’t speak out loud yet. YEA GIVE ME BACK YOU STINKFISH!’
Alex almost made a face palm.

“Woah! Don’t shoot! There are more than one hoomans out here!” Came the male voice claiming to be the Special Forces operative who responded to Isaac's distress call. He seriously doubted anyone was human beyond the walls separating them, but what was assured was that they weren't yet hostile. Yet.

He got to his feet, gave a cursory glance to Sinclair, and made to the doorway. He found an odd troupe outside... arguing? He had little idea what to make of it. The pieces of the conversation were clicking together though. Most were confirmed monsters, beings to be detained and researched by ones such as he and his partner. The young female target was nowhere to be seen, and the similarities this new male had to her was too uncanny to be coincidence. Her brother perhaps? Another oddity came from this operative in some variant of the New Colorado Hunter combat uniform.

Isaac emerged from the dark with his rifle, despite his training and better judgement, lowered. His fingers were wrapped tightly on the grip. "Uh-" He cleared his throat. He looked to the inhumans tentatively, not wanting to stare too long. The high priority artifact caught his hidden gaze for a second longer than he meant it to. "Thank you. This city owes you a debt, roasting that many corpse-crawlers." He switched to addressing Alpha-6. "Unit 14, Isaac Gehrman. Thanks for the assistance and everything, but what's going on? What are Special Forces doing here? Please tell me the city isn't lost to Ghouls, of all things!"

Alex answered for him.
“Nah. Only just this few miles. People always flock back once all the ghouls are killed. Trust me..”

He still glared at Quintus as he waited for an answer. And his crystal.

Looking pointedly towards the newcomer before responding to Isaac, "What he said, I'm actually off duty but couldnt ignore the threat, and my comms can't seem to pierce through whatever interference is up." Looking towards the newcomer he continued, "You can get this back once I know what's going on" Before placing it in one of his armors compartments and closing it securely.

"Well, since we're all relaxing and introducing ourselves on this fine day, I'm SF Alpha-6, you may call me Quintus or Six."
Looking over at the Inhuman girl he asked, "what about you, does her highness have a name?" he asked teasingly.

Looking around Quintus noted the east side streets flickering one by one, they were far from the oddity but it appeared to slowly inch its way towards them, sending a shiver of cold down his back, it might be time to move inside he thought as he checked his rifles' scope.

“No. I suggest you give it back now!” Alex growled. He noticed an oddity and it was getting colder, but since he kinda radiated heat he barley noticed.

“Unless you want to die you give it back right now!” His eyes glowed. Red. A fierce dark red instead of purple. He barred his teeth which had become more pointed.

Alex wanted his crystal back. It couldn’t be broken, but he couldn’t transform without it. And it was kinda his best friend.

Zach had been sitting in an alley her hair bundled under the turban and a cloak wrapped around her, she felt a bit ill after the events she had just had to observe. The girl had arrived a few days prior with a band of merchants who had helped her sneak away from the village, only to later watch them die at the hands of those, those ghouls it was horrible. She barely been able to get away the creatures dodging her attacks, she'd been sluggish though a little bit of alcohol. She'd laid her head in her arms, she almost missed the kitchens back home, at least she knew she was safe. She just had to lay low get out of town and she'd be fine, she had her magic.

(( thank you so much ))

Isaac shook at how callous Alex was to human loss. Call Isaac soft, but he was closer to Sinclair's view of ghouls once being people than Alex's aloof attitude towards what just happened.

"Yeah, I'm sure people will flock back after the previous tenants," he gestured to the floor, "are cleaned up. I guess that's how monsters see it, huh?"

Some of the frustration left him when speaking to the operative, but it was obvious he was stressed out. "Quintus, sir, it's much appreciated. Seriously. But you don't seem to be from around here. Everyone knows what monsters are, even tourists..." Isaac set aside the verbal thought. "As for the comms. Could be any manner of magical or mundane obstruction to the towers or whatever. I'm not a Comm-tech. I know one thing, though. This isn't an accident. Could be a possible-"

Isaac readied his rifle on Alex when the tell-tale sign of an angered demon was beared. Whatever kind of realm this being was born to, the flashing eyes equated to an intent to attack. He cursed himself for getting this close thinking they could be trusted. "S-stand down!" Isaac was so focused on those in front of him, that whatever was approaching beyond the shadows remained yet unseen to him, let alone the survivor wandering some ways away.

"My name is Celobra, and stop calling me that."

She said with a growl, before turning back to Alex and putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down, unless you want to get killed by these Hunters."
She said warningly. It seemed they had gained a small sliver of their trust, for now. She didn't want to lose it.

Guns were aimed at him as the soldier said to stand down. The half blood Cleobra tried to get him to calm down, but Alex wasn't about to budge to their wills.

"I won't calm or stand down till they give it back!" Alex shrugged off Cleobra's hand. "Crystal! Call J. Tell her to get over here." 'Done and done. Help signal sent, but not to Victor.'

"Last chance to give is back before I burn you to ashes." Alex threatened. His hands lit in purple flame as he got down into a fighting stance. A bright light rushed into the room. "I've lost track of how much you owe me." A girl of average height stood there. With long white hair and white eyes. She was pale and thin. J stood there with a half eaten borrito. Her own pure white crystal lay on a necklace around her neck. "This realm solstice is getting out of hand. Everyone is calling me every few minutes to come help with something."

"Now is not the time. He stole my crystal!" Alex growled. "So?" J asked taking a bite of her food. "Why do you need my help?" "Not even half and halfs can fight everyone on their own!" "Then call Shade Ali." "Don't call me that berry girl." "Hey!" They broke out bickering. 'Just shut up.' 'Your partner started it.' 'No yours did.' The crystals even started glowing violently.

looking between all the beings present Quintus began to feel overwhelmed, especially when this Alex fellow began to issue threats, it placed him in a difficult position. Protocol dictated quick and efficient elimination of all threats, but the man looked young, and the crystal was obviously his. However the possible threat the crystal represented to him and all those present was too big to ignore. Quietly he sent a command to his armor, raising his shields to maximum, it would make the air feel electric but the added protection would ensure high chances of getting through this mess unscathed. Ignoring the bickering beings and their odd magic crystals Quintus looked at Isaac and asked, "What exactly is going on and what in the world is this crystal? more importantly why is it so important?" looking at Alex he continued with a loud menacing growl, "If you want your crystal back you WILL answer my questions, and you WILL calm down!"

Tensing himself for any attacks he enforced his point by keeping his weapon on his back. From what it looked like both creature and hunter alike seemed to take each other as serious threats, by keeping his weapon away he would easily place doubt on the creatures ability to take him down, to them he was just another hunter, so they'd be unlikely to think he was doing this out of foolishness. Looking towards the white haired girl he attempted to keep things diplomatic,
" Listen...J? your friend here showed up, immediately began to antagonize the rest of our little group and refuses to explain himself or this crystal, you seem like the more rational sort, so I'm gonna ask nicely. What is going on and why does he want this crystal so badly?" after he said this he took out the crystal and held it gingerly, prepared to move it out of Alex's reach should he try going for it.

Juniper gave Quintus a glare teenager worthy. "Look pal. None of us RT's like sharing much, but I do agree with A. Give the crystal back. If it was mine you stole you'd already be dead." Juniper wasn't gonna let anything slip. She, Shade, and Alex were best out of the 27 realm travelers at keeping quiet. Then there was Parker. Just thinking about that weak link made Juniper sigh. Sure he was good with magic and stuff, but they didn't need a human slowing them down. At least thats what Juniper thought.

'Hell I with Parker was here.' Alex thought. He could solve anything! And Parker was like the closest thing Alex would ever have to a dad. Alex remembered the time when he'd ran into a cactus patch. Parker had spent almost 2 hours just helping him pick out all the needles. The guy was good with medicine. And Alex wanted to stay on his good side. Parker and Shade were the only ones who knew how to beat Alex in battle. Not like Shade would need tpo use his weakness against Alex to beat him, but still.

"Look I'm not giving any answers or am I going to calm down till you give my crystal back." Alex stopped smoking so much and wasn't yelling anymore, but his eyes still glowed their menacing red.

"I guess it's just like the Vets say. There's no talking sense into these monsters." The Hunter spat the term with as much hate as his father oft did when regarding them in his many tales from the war. It was hard to conceal his hatred, his fear of them when they were practically gutting you with their stares as Alex was. Monsters all guilty of making the world as it is today. He had to stop him... but...

But the soldiers were practically surrounded, yet another arriving from the shadows. No backup was coming. Everything was wrong. Was this a nightmare? Was this really where it ended for him...?

"Don't give it to them." Isaac found his voice as steady as his rifle. "That object is a high priority research item that is a weapon in the wrong hands. And I won't stand by while an off duty soldier is cut down!"

“Don’t give it to them.” One of the guards said. Juniper pursed her lips and sighed. “Well if you insist.” She ran forwards and pinned the gaurd with Alex’s jewel against the wall. She was strong for how thin she was. “Give it back or I’ll force it out of that armor.”

Alex was still in fighting position. While J handled that guy he would keep anyone else from interrupting.
